For comparison, here’s how I’d instinctively stress these words:

mer KAM ror
ro BEN
te PAR
ka MOT tep mor (rule: stress the syllable before a double consonant?)
pi SOS bi kar
sel NER sin
SER
e RAN
li PI ko en
kak NOT ser

so pretty consistently on the second syllable… Hm.

MER kam ror
ro BEN(or ROB en? meh)
te PAR(… or TEP ar)
ka MOT tep mor(the possible permutations get unpleasant at three syllables or more)
pi SOS bi kar
SEL ner sin
SER(kinda, duh)
e RAN(no idea how it would be stressed if it were distributed er an)
li pi ko en(?) or LIP i ko en(for words consisting entirely of CV VC or V syllables, I personally like the sound of stress on the penultimate syllable. This is also where I would place secondary stress in longer words. So li pi KO en)
KAK not ser

This is all a matter of MY taste, such as it is, and a possibly flawed understanding of what you have said. I looked at my copy of the esolanean.wdic file and realized I’ve added a lot of junk, like orcs and goblins to the mix. It’s like I’m over here creating an odd dialect of Esolanean. Maybe I should start playing in my own sandbox for a change :).
